Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 6:11 pm -2.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 51 min to high tide at 11:54 am.

Tide coefficient 100 for the 12:05 am high tide and 96 for the 11:54 am high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.1 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (2.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 26 (-2.9 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 103, 5.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 26, 1.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Myggbukta has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.6 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm also works, with a good size and light offshore wind.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:00 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,150 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (1,200 ft from Myggbukta) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep850 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 8.9 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,150 ft and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
